Faces of Labor

Jamie Shamblin

“When my daughter Emma was born premature, the doctors gave her 30 days to live. She is deaf, legally blind, has a seizure disorder, and Cerebral Palsy. She has been fed from a tube since the day she was born. But today, 13 years after the doctors gave her a month to live, Emma is alive and well. My daughter has survived and even thrived through love and caring in the home thanks to In-Home Supportive Services and my work as her care provider.”
